about

This was among a group of songs inspired by my work as a healer/hypnotherapist/NLP practitioner.

People have come to me so emotionally wounded, so devastated by their childhood experiences that it literally becomes a self fulfilling prophecy...

Ultimately whatever happened in the past is gone, our memories of it and beliefs around our pasts can be healed and released. It starts with the intention of "letting go".

When we release ourselves from attachment to our stories and begin to live more and more in this sacred present moment healing can take place...

And of course it is a process we are in that sometimes seems like 2 steps forward and 1 step back, but it is happening...

Looking back at the many years of "lessons" since writing this song it feels like it was as much a message for me as it was for my clients...

As I often say to my current clients and NLP students, the tools and techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming or "Processing", don't instantly "fix" us, but they give us resources to heal ourselves faster, and more completely than if we were just using trial and error...

lyrics

Let It Go

Song # 344 | 3/1/05 | CD: Eyes On The Horizon

Let it go, let it go. Let it slip away
Let it go, let it go. Let it slip away
You will feel much lighter by the end of the day

I don’t know, I don’t know, Why you chose this road
I don’t know, I don’t know, Why you chose this road
It’s the perfect path for you to make yourself whole

I wish that you could see, the person that I see
I wish that you could see, the person that I see
Shining back at me so magnificently

Bridge:
I don’t know why you chose this experience
All I know is that on some level you did.
And if you chose it, you can change it kid.
It might be uncomfortable to admit it but you’ll be glad you did
You can blame it on your childhood
I know you got beat up even when you tried to be good.
Your mom and dad well they did the best they could
And you can’t escape the fact that their best was not very good at all...
You got in the way and you got hurt and I’m sorry for that.
But they’re not around, they’re dead and gone or at the very least
They are no longer bigger than you.
So who’s beating you up now? Every single day?
Who’s keeping you depressed and tired and hurt and angry and overweight?

And if you chose it. You can change it kid!

I’ll sing this song for you I’ll sing this song for me
I’ll sing this song for you I’ll sing this song for me
Let your mind get tangled in the melody

Look around, look around. See beauty everywhere
Look around, look around. See beauty everywhere
When you see your self make sure you that notice it there.

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
